Dental Emergency

Dental emergencies are unexpected by nature. An impact to the face that loosens a tooth or a root canal infection are just two common examples. In general, if you are experiencing significant oral pain, persistent bleeding, or other worrisome symptoms, you should treat your situation as a dental emergency and seek immediate treatment.

Our office will treat your dental emergency immediately, whether you are a new or existing patient. If you are unsure if your symptoms require immediate attention, a member of our team can listen to your symptoms and provide advice. Our office can be reached at (505) 865-4341. We also reply to Facebook and Google messages right away.

Common Dental Emergencies

Any dental problem that results in persistent bleeding, significant oral pain, or visible damage to your teeth or gums should be treated as a potential dental emergency. Common dental emergencies include:

  • A knocked-out tooth
  • A loose adult tooth
  • Trauma to the mouth
  • A root canal infection
  • Loose or dislodged restoration
  • The sudden onset of oral pain
  • Swollen gums

To arrange an examination at Los Lunas Smiles Dentistry to talk about Dental Emergency, Call at (505)-865-4341 or Schedule An Appointment Online .

Often, these dental problems result from an advanced infection or injury. If you are in severe pain or experiencing uncontrolled bleeding, you should not drive yourself to our office

Treatment Options

Our doctors are trained to treat a wide range of dental emergencies. If you are in pain, one of our doctors can quickly administer local anesthesia to numb the affected area. We gladly accept same-day appointments.

Tooth Extraction

While a tooth extraction or root canal treatment may not be something most people look forward to, the treatments provide immediate relief from pain. At all times, our doctors will be mindful of your comfort as you undergo emergency treatment at our office. 

Prevention

While some accidents are unavoidable, there are practical steps that patients can take to prevent dental emergencies from happening. The American Dental Association recommends that people of all ages wear a mouthguard when playing sports. Avoiding biting ice and other hard objects and never using your teeth to pry or cut objects are two other key tips that can save you from an emergency visit to the dentist.
